Leadership Lab (LLAB)

As future leaders and warriors within the United States Air Force, our cadets must excel in their degree, physical fitness, and leadership experience. They must be well-rounded individuals who understand the history, principles, and future of the world's finest Air Force.

Each semester, cadets learn more about the Air Force and become better prepared for the challenges awaiting them. In addition to the required academic classes, cadets must participate in Leadership Laboratory (LLAB). LLAB provides a chance to put academic understanding into practice as cadets apply what they learn to become effective followers as General Miltary Course (GMC) and transform into effective leaders as Professional Military Course (PMC).
